god what really gets me about this post is that there was a whole kerfluffle about doomerism and gloom bc someone was like “the database may have collapsed” and then we find out what actually happened and it’s Infinitely Worse. least the data is safe
Alright. So. This is actually really fucking bad and goes wayyyy beyond just Ao3. This response contains enough information to know EXACTLY what happened to Ao3. Let’s talk about the Most Pressing Current Problem AI is creating. In graph form!

Honestly I can deal with this kind of doom and gloom more so than the kind that was just focused on ao3. It feels less personal, because everything is terrible and I was already prepared for that.
